Quick Answer

Free samples of discipline and appreciation letters are found online through the WriteExpress and About.com websites. Both sites provide writing resources and letter samples for a number of situations, including letters to employees, letters to businesses, letters to customers and letters to friends and family.

The WriteExpress website offers countless samples of disciplinary and appreciation letters in both English and Spanish. Disciplinary samples cover a range of topics such as employee tardiness, breach of company policy and late payment warnings for customers. The website features sample appreciation letters for multiple occasions, including accepting an honor and thanking businesses, employees, customers and volunteers.

The multiple text samples on the WriteExpress website do not display traditional letter format, focusing instead on the best wording for different situations. The site also provides links to related articles that explain how to write the most effective reprimand and appreciation letters. For example, the article "How to Write a Reprimand Letter" explains that the goal of this kind of letter is to deliver the message as tactfully as possible.

For additional help, About.com also features numerous resources for writing discipline and appreciation letters and emails. The templates offered here incorporate letter format more than those provided on the WriteExpress website, but fewer types of letters are offered. Like WriteExpress, About.com offers a number of supplementary how-to articles and letter writing tips.
